The Detroit Institute for Children, Southeast Michigan’s leading nonprofit provider of therapy for children with special needs, announced that it has opened a new location in Southfield this week.The Southfield campus joins the Detroit, Walled Lake and St. Clair Shores locations in offering coordinated occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech language pathology for children and young adults with physical, neurological or developmental disabilities.The focus of all Detroit Institute for Children treatment is on strengthening its patients’ potential for independent functioning.
“We welcome new and existing patients to our easy-to-access Southfield campus,” said Detroit Institute for Children President and CEO Mark Cleary. “We believe that this expansion will allow us to help even more children maximize their abilities.”“Unlike many local facilities that offer similar services, we don’t have lengthy waiting lists in Southfield or at our other locations,” he continued. “This means we are able to see patients for assessments and initial visits immediately — providing the early interventions that make so much of a different in the lives of children with special needs.”The Detroit Institute for Children’s new location is at 18300 12 Mile Road just west of Southfield Road and a mile north of I-696.For more information about the services offered, visit detroitchildren.org/changinglives or call 313-832-1100.
